Confirmed from Peachtree Creek Greenway Briarwood Rd. Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Peachtree Creek Greenway Briarwood Rd. Trailhead
“Nice paved path with great views and mixed elevations.”
“I highly recommend you take a walk and bring your kids and their bikes plus your dogs and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the walk along the bubbling Peachtree Creek.”
Peachtree Creek Greenway is a walk and bike path that will eventually be 12 miles long. Right now it runs under North Druid Hills Road all the way to Briarwood Road and there are several parking lots along the way. Eventually it's supposed to connect through Buckhead all the way to the Beltline downtown!
Oustanding start for the new Peachtree Creek Greenway. Beautifully landscaped, lighted, security cameras - well done Brookhaven! You’ve turned a polluted creek into a wonderful nature area.
A one mile stretch of a lovely wide paved path. It goes along a lovely Creek and behind the Brookhaven police station. Lots of cameras to keep you safe along with hammocks and seating & slides. The only bathroom is on the back side of the police station but it was really dirty.
A great addition to the area. I predict it'll improve significantly one completed. It's hilly so if you are a runner be prepared. It's also usually not very crowded so you can run without hopping over or dodging groups of ppl.
